new photos from a cold November

It's a beautiful snowy morning, and I'm staying inside and posting photos from the last few weeks. Evangeline got a new toy bear and a sweater from Emily, and she's just learning how to play with toys. I really think she just chomped on the bear because it was in the way of getting her hands to her mouth, but she's getting there! :-)

We also went on a walk with the Swintecks, which, of course, she slept through. I guess a warm bunting where she can't move her arms and being carried around by daddy is pretty great!

Happy December!

November - Evangeline gets a bear

Evangeline (almost) smiling, and dressed like a pumpkin.

trying to capture a smile...
Click the picture to view all the photos. Evangeline is smiling a lot these days, but it's hard to catch it just right! And we went to her first party at a friends' house in Brookfield, and she couldn't be the only kid not dressed up!

Evangeline at one month

Evangeline as a little apostrophe in her bouncer chair.


These "One Month" photos were taken a week ago now. We tried to capture some real smiles, since she's definitely getting that figured out, but she wasn't having any of it that night!

pictures from Bop and Gram's visit





Pictures of Evangeline with her great grandparents, in which she was very spoiled with much singing and holding and rocking...lucky little duck!

Evangeline's moods - happy and very sad!


New photos here...


Picturing Evangeline peaceful before her bath - and then not quite so happy! We think she's channeling Fawful from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga - I HAVE FURY YOU FINK-RATS!!

Also, visual proof that she has learned to accept, with some trepidation, both a pacifier and the sling. Way to go, baby!

dragons and bears, oh my...



Evangeline and Dad "tailgaiting" before the Bears game.

Evangeline shows off some of her favorite homemade presents - all set to go to Target (and GameStop!) in her lovely pink cardigan, made by Beth.

Next: Ginger's knit dragon and Evangeline hanging out together... I think we need a name-that-dragon contest! And...happy faces (?) under her reversible tree blanket from Jen.

Evangeline masters Blue Steel and other first week accomplishments...


Photos from Evangeline's first week at home. She sleeps, she eats, she looks around, she has tummy time...that's about it!


Oh yeah, and she gets hiccups... The leg lifts, I assume, are so she can compete with her cousin Molly.

Evangeline gets LOL'd





Thanks, Uncle Ian!

Evangeline's first days

Photos from Evangeline's first days in the hospital, September 15th through 17th.












Also, her first video - taken on a cell phone in the delivery room. Very modern baby!
